AP10 can be powered from the Ethernet connector using Power over Ethernet (PoE) or from
the power supply connector using the included AC/DC adapter. If both power sources are
connected, the AC/DC adapter is utilized to power the device. AP10 is IP22 rated, and is
suitable for indoor industrial applications. For best wireless coverage, install the AP10 at eye
height or on the ceiling.
AP10 has two user interfaces:
• Touch interface on the front panel. Use this interface to set up the device during
installation and to locally check the connection status.
• Web interface via the Ethernet connection. This interface provides advanced
configuration features and can be accessed remotely.
